E30 Grille restore - with stuff from Bunnings...

[modz 148]

Had some time over the weekend to restore my E30 grilles / grills.   Obviously I could've replaced with new, but these ones looked ok and I had some time so why not give restoring a go.

Things you need:
1) E30 Grille

2) Plastic Doctor

3) Sponge Seal as shown

4) Oomph

 

Instructions:

1) Cut the existing foam off with a razor blade

2) Spray residue with Oomph and leave for 2 mins.  Then rub / scrape off. Repeat as necessary.

3) Wash the grilles with detergent

4) Dry fully 

5) Wipe grille down with plastic doctor.  Use a screwdriver wrapped in cloth for the tight areas.

>>Stay away from the foam area<<

6) Leave to dry then repeat on areas until a consistent finish

7) Apply foam strip, cut to length.

I used loose fitting clothes pegs to hold it down for 24 hours; seems to have worked well.

Enjoy the result!
